Wrinkle Stop

Wrinkle Stop

Wednesday, November 02, 2011

I just turned 35 last September and suddenly I have become concerned with my skin. I started visiting my new dermatologist on a regular basis to address some skin problems. I have a very oily skin. I thought if I wash my face as often as I can, it will be good for my skin. Oh, I know it's not right. But I love the feeling of a newly washed face. Lately, I noticed that my skin is now oily and at the same time dry.

My dermatologist advised me to stop my toner. Continue with the Cetaphil Soap and moisturizer and limit washing my face to only twice a day. I was using the Quick and Clean line from The Face Shop. When I visited the store recently, a new product was introduced to me. The Wrinkle Stop  Abyssine line. 

I only bought the Wrinkle Stop Abyssine Emulsion. According to the label, Abyssine is a survival molecule harvested from microorganisms that inhabits in hydrothermal vents (huh.. scary?!) in the deep sea of the Galapagos Islands 3,000 meters deep from the water's surface. I really do not know how these molecules will help my skin.  But I've read from the website that the Wrinkle Stop Abyssine Emulsion is suggested for the revitalization and nourishment of the skin. It is an emulsion that helps in the prevention of wrinkles, gives moisture and gets rid of dead skin cells. I was hoping that they have a smaller size but it only comes in a 130ml bottle. I have been using this for a month now and so far, I am happy with the result. The emulsion also does not feel heavy on the skin. I tried the Arsainte Eco-Therapy Vitalist Serum, after a while my face feels so sticky. Good thing I just got it as a freebie.

I also got myself the Herb Day Lip and Eye Makeup Remover. I use this to remove my waterproof mascara, eyeliner and lipstick. Although this does not remove all traces of  eye makeup, I still need to clean my eyes with Maybelline Make Up Remover Eye & Lip, then clean my face with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and lastly, wash my face with Dove White Beauty Bar. Somehow my problem with bringing the moisture back has already been addressed. I'll be visiting my dermatologist again two weeks from now for my facial. Next problem to address, the pores!

Another item I bought is Face it Designing Cake Eyebrow. I've been wanting to learn how to fix my not so defined brows. I'm not sure if this product is good. I am still not getting the effect I want. But for now, I think it's more of my lack of skill to fix my eyebrows.

I Love PepperLunch

I Love PepperLunch

Tuesday, November 01, 2011

When I asked my husband last night if he wants to go to Shangri-la or Megamall, I already have an agenda. I want to eat at Pepper Lunch. But I haven't decided yet what I want to have. I tweeted about it and I'm glad I received a reply from PepperLunch Manila informing me that I better check the Megamall branch because Shangri-la is closed on November 1. We always eat at their Shangri-la branch so it's my first time at Megamall. 

Pepper Lunch Megamall

I learned about Pepper Lunch from a friend's blog. His family loves good food and I always check his blog whenever I'm on a gastronomic hunt. The idea of cooking my own food is very appealing and as expected, I went to Pepper Lunch Shangri-la the following weekend. Since then, I love Pepper Lunch.

It's always a choice between Beef Pepper Rice (if I do not want to eat a lot hehe), Cut Steak and Beef Yakiniku. Whichever I choose, I always smother it with my favorite Garlic Soy Sauce.

I ordered Beef Yakiniku. This generous serving comes with side veggies and a cup of rice. I'm actually on a low glycemic diet but because this is Pepper Lunch, I declared November 1 as my "cheat day".  I opted for the Bonus Meal. For an additional of P60, I had this meal paired with Coke Light (to lessen the guilt hahaha) and my favorite Miso Soup.

My husband ordered Double Hamburger Steak with Egg and mashed potato. It was our first time to try their mashed potato and we both agreed... it's soft and smooth and YUMMY!

I noticed that after cooking our food, we started eating and were not talking for almost ten minutes.  A sign that we are enjoying our food. Then I told him, "Hey, we are not talking! We are too busy eating." He said, "Yeah." Then we just exchanged short comments. Me saying, "I love the miso". He, "the mashed potato is good." Me, "I think I'll be able to eat all the rice." :D

 

How much do we love Pepper Lunch?  Well, the picture reveals an obvious answer.
